+1 College "for the masses" today seems to be less about getting an enriching (in any sense but financially) education and more about purchasing a competitive edge in the job market. It's half grift, half class filter. Howeve

This seems extremely reductive at best, especially with the benefit of hindsight.

I really hope NASA is making better use of taxpayer dollars than paying their decision-makers to watch clickbait trash on Youtube. How any serious person could take this sort of thing seriously is beyond me.

I don't disagree that 'race to the bottom' is the rule rather than the exception in modern capitalism, but I don't think your response here captures the context. The fact that Etsy's decline into something like Amaz

I've bought handmade things on Etsy that are a) very high quality and b) obscure/weird enough that I wouldn't know where else to go for them. Enabling this sort of thing is Etsy's pitch. I have no particular loyalty to t

One has a choice between learning enough about Vim to replicate arbitrary workflows/functionality in it, or using other softwares that do those things out of the box and clicking the "Vim mode" check box in the settings. Both

Existing housing already has people living in it. Prices are so high because demand is high and supply is low; if your model for creating new affordable housing involves incentivizing for-profit developers to buy existing supply in this kin

I see zero evidence of an effect like that in the linked photos. I assumed they were talking about artifacting they saw in their own attempt to take photos at night with an iPhone. Either way, given the content of those links, I don't

I think the main thing you're missing is the actual game, presentation aside. You touched on controls, but I don't think you've grasped how complex and finely tuned the combat sandbox is, or how it enables different styles of

Assuming Panic manages to ship their first run, tens of thousands of people who've already ordered are going to have Playdates in their hands sooner or later, and they will set the tone for its reception. It's not like the hardwar

I don't think GP is suggesting there was some issue with the training. I think they are suggesting that it's very difficult to justify MCAS (as originally implemented) as WAI when it quite clearly brought down two airplanes full o

I have not had any issues like this with mine, and I use them all the time to find things. I would buy more if I had anything else to attach them to.

It's playable, but it's nowhere close to being a complete game. It seems like most of the value people get out of it at this point is fucking around with its half-broken systems.

I don't think 4K@360Hz is a thing yet. Beyond that, one imagines there may be some performance and power overhead, and many hardcore high-FPS players will probably prefer a display that natively matches their target resolution. It el

What's the source for it being easy? It seems easy, from the perspective of a human looking at results, but I'm not sure how much that's worth given the scale and complexity of the problem.
